About this map

Ashford sits at the southwestern gateway to a landscape dominated by the glacial drainages of the Cascades, where the Puyallup River forks into north and south branches. This 2023 survey delineates the complex intersection of the Mount Rainier National Park, Glacier View Wilderness, and Snoqualmie National Forest. The map detail follows the rugged crests from Mount Wow north toward Gobblers Knob, tracing a network of high-elevation water bodies including Lake George and Lake Christine.

A network of backcountry routes, including the iconic Wonderland Trl and the Glacier View Trl, provides a detailed record of the footpaths and forest roads like Westside Road that navigate the ridges. From the meadowlands at Beljica Meadows to the dramatic overlooks at Klapatche Point, the map captures the hydrologic transition where creeks like Tahoma Creek and St Andrews Creek descend from the ice-carved heights toward the valley floor.
